Zbynek Michalek sent the teddy bears flying for the first time in Roadrunners history and Christian Fischer scored the overtime game winner as Tucson topped the Ontario Reign 5-4 on Friday night.

Michalek scored on a one-timer from the left point at 4:45 of the first period to score the first of three power play goals for the Roadrunners as the team jumped out to a 3-0 first period lead adding goals by Conor Garland and Chris Mueller.

Ontario fought back to tie the game at 3-3 midway through the third before Kyle Wood scored a power play goal at 14:49 to put Tucson ahead once more, but just 23 seconds later Jonny Brodzinski tied it up once again for the Reign.

The game pushed into overtime where the Roadrunners carried over a power play from regulation, and Fischer scored on a wrist shot from the high slot just :27 into the extra session to give Tucson the second point.

Adin Hill picked up his eighth win of the season with 33 saves.

Notes:

Michalek’s teddy bear goal was his first as a Roadrunner

Jamie McBain recorded three assists on the night, a personal season high

Kyle Wood’s power play goal was his fifth of the season, tying him for the league lead in that category among defensemen

Tucson got back to being one of the better power play teams in the AHL converting 3-for-6 while the Reign finished just 1-for-5.
